How to align and distribute form fields?

I created a form with some fields that I copied and pasted. Is there a way to align them and distribute them so that precisely the appearance neat and professional? Thank you!

Select Yes, some fields, right click and you will see the different options that are available.

You can also use the guides, you can get by displaying (Ctrl + R) leaders first and dragging horizontal and vertical rules. If you drag a field near a guide, the side of the field the closer the mouse cursor emerges slowly to her when close enough. They will also align to guides (with lower zoom settings) when selected and uttered by using the arrows of the keyboard cursor.

There is also the grid you can activate (Ctrl + U) and make snap it to grid River (Ctrl + SHIFT + U). Set up in the preferences: Edit > Preferences > units & Guides > Grid Layout

If you have Acrobat 11, here are some keyboard shortcuts in form editing mode when you have single key accelerators enabled: Edit > preferences > General > use unique accelerators keys to access the tools:

  • How to package and distribute Scripts + Actions?

    I'm already enjoying some successes to distribute a set of interoperability of actions and scripts. BUT there are several obstacles that I'm sure others have thought to solve, and I want to get an idea of what would be possible (and best) solutions.

    Let's start with the following assumptions, based on my sales so far:

    • The target audience has Photoshop CS2 up to Photoshop CC.  (For me, so far, MOST of the people are CS5, CS6 or CC). An ideal solution would allow me to continue to target all these people.
    • The target audience are ' aware' of Photoshop but not Photoshop "warned."  They want tools to accomplish a specific task and don't know all the ins and outs of Photoshop.
    • In addition to supporting a variety of versions of Photoshop, we also support users Mac and PC, and the variety of the operating systems that are present in the wild.

    Currently the 'State of the art' as I understand it are the following:

    1. Sell stock or scripts with a set of instructions on the place where to copy elements, taking care to describe the differences for different machines and operating systems and Versions of Photoshop.
      PROBLEM:
      A. it is difficult to handle and requires the consumer to be more "savvy" on their BONES and their Photoshop a lot of people are.
      (B) several versions of windows do not allow copy in certain directories without special privileges, Ditto for the Mac.

    2. Package of actions or scripts for Mac separately from those for the PC and the bundle each with a sort of Setup program.
      Problems:
      A > multiple packages are more difficult to maintain
      B > 'canonical locations' for PC are different on Mac
      C > there is problem of security to create and distribute an installer. Although it is easier to send a whole package, it moves the load to the user who must know what that "this application is not approved" means and how to get around.
      D > some users, particularly the CC users who have more than one platform may wish the Mac and PC versions.

    3. Understand how slog through the process of getting something in «Adobe Exchange»
      PROBLEMS:
      A. the process seems impenetrable to me.
      (B) 'Exchange' is another product that someone needs to install (not included with Photoshop)
      C. is not supported in earlier versions of Photoshop (before CS5, I think)
      D. apparently requires a different package for EACH supported version of Photoshop? True?
      E. because Exchange is not delivered with Photoshop, the market is against a person who adopts this road.
      F. Exchange itself is sometimes a pain. For example just now he told me that I had to update * and * restart Photoshop.  It is difficult to imagine a potential client that runs through a lot of pain to try to find a package here. From elsewhere after what I clicked on 'My Stuff' and the Saturday tool spinning infinitely.
      G. the user must KNOW Exchange and me, the seller must describe how they can navigate this landscape, which is once in Exchange the user must somehow FIND your content.
      H. There seems to be no clarity on what percentage Adobe takes in this model, or how the payment is going to work.
      I. users should be prepared to use an Adobe ID to make a purchase.
      J. According to what is currently in Exchange, it seems a bad vehicle to get the eyes, because there is a very limited capacity to put the text and descriptions
      K. There is of course a very low incidence of people looking in Exchange... NONE of the products I saw there was even a review!

    4. Create something that uses Adobe Configurator (might be in addition or replacement of the foregoing)
      PROBLEMS:

    A. Configurator is without no DOUBT Photoshop specific version. Many overhead costs of construction and tests for every supported PS
    B. as near as I can tell, Configurator is a dead project that has no team and no supported.
    C. does not support earlier versions of Photoshop.  (CS4? unlikely)
    D. always requires that a user chock a 'required administrator' Adobe Extension Manager tool.

  • Join the Apple Developer program in order to build, to sign and distribute a package for the Mac, including, possibly, through the Mac store.
    PROBLEMS:
    A. might work for the Mac, but does not help much for the PC which is 60% of the market.
    B. more than $ and pain. But perhaps worth the GET Mac store (like the App store) eyes MUCH more than what Adobe has put together so far.
    C. Seems like a lot of work and hassle to distribute the specific content of Photoshop.
  • As far as I can tell there is no solution for the "improvements" (distribution of newer versions) or "upsells" for one of the above options.

    Is there an option 6?  I've hidden something? Adobe has indeed a "manufacturer of bundle Photoshop script/action ' which is the platform independent, robust and EASY for anyone to use?

    Hi NightSkyGuy,

    Welcome to the club of the most perplexed ;-)

    I wish I had a definitive answer, but I fear not. I can tell you my experience, some of your impressions confirm or refute. I was the sale of scripts/Extensions since 2009 (low volume, but extra income in any case), this is what I've learned so far:

    1 forget the configurator.

    2. If you are in need of target CS2, forget everything changes also: it is CS6/CC only.

    Yet some of your assumptions on Exchange are not correct:

    • You can group different versions of the extension/script/imaginable in the same installer
    • If memory doesn't fail me, the CC users * must * have installed by default
    • According to my experience the share of revenue is split 25% to Adobe and 75% for the producer, after Fastspring (payment service) took a package plus a small percentage. For a $20 $ 14 go in your pocket.
    • the concern that users must be prepared to use their AdobeID is just--and yet the majority of those who refuse are because they will pirate PS; the remains, for the most part, the PS via CC licenses so it shouldn't be too big of a problem, given that Exchange links your purchases to your account and you are free to download/install the. It's the price they pay.
    • fake there is no notice. I admit, users are pretty thrifty with them :-) but they wrote a few (or at least rate of products).
    • If you are interested to learn more, apply for the beta of Exchange (to put things in perspective, Adobe doesn't seem very interested by third-party developers part to all; however Exchange is expected to grow in the future - if pencil pushers there won't kill as they did with a lot of promising technologies in the past)

    2. There is Adobe Packager who built and connect to a fairly simple ZXP packages, but:

    3 adobe Extension Manager (which deals. Installers ZXP) is a pain in the neck. Adobe engineers are well aware that developers need a better way to deploy their stuff.

    My current path is:

    1. I Pack/Extensions Script through the command-line (writing custom MXI files)-> ZXP and distribute installers as well by the Exchange and another retailer. I've set up a Web site just to overcome the limitations of Exchange in advertising products - my pages certainly cooler looking ;-)

    2. I provide a version zipped to installation manual (i.e. moving autour records) and lots of documentation.

    3. I keep fingers crossed and I am ready to answer e-mails from customer support.

    Many things can go wrong (and they do), but I couldn't come up with something better.

    Well, in your case, it could be a solution (as I have not approached--yet). If you install the XTools by the greatly missed XBytor, you see that he wrote an installation script - as you know has ExtendScript of files management powers (can copy, move, write, etc.). It's quite complicated, but for files of actions or extensions, it should be easier. Moreover, ARE a path tokens that can facilitate the process (i.e. knows where Scripts PS file is any OS the user is running, etc.).

    In this way, you could provide a ZIP with an installer.jsx (#target photoshop, so when the user double-clicks on PS fires and does everything) with a 'source' of sidecar file that contains real substance. CS2 should manage this too.

    I'm afraid that I don't know anything about windows, permissions problems, etc. - so that you could meet stones stumbling block I don't know. Yet if XBytor opted for this solution... I am inclined to think that it is the best and the most backward compatible. Let us know! ;-)

  • Acrobat XI Windows 7 - impossible (copy and) paste form fields in different PDF.

    In order to maintain a consistent look and function in the forms I create for various departments, I copy a few independent form (text, checkboxes) of a PDF Acrobat fields. Then I paste these fields in another PDF document that I am to fill.

    I do this because Acrobat does not define a default value for some attributes when creating form fields, i.e. an option deselected scroll, one font by default other than Helvetica (in Acrobat 8, 9 and X). Plus, it's save time to copy and paste fields that are the same in another PDF file, such as name, address, telephone. etc.

    We have just upgraded to Acrobat XI and Windows 7 and now I can't paste copied fields on a different PDF.

    To help 'replace the pages' is not applicable, as I am sticking to a totally different form and copy the form fields with the settings I use.

    Is this a bug or something new that wasn't in Acrobat 8, 9 and X is?

    In addition, question about this forum - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5638333#5638333 - article which is somewhat different from my current question.

    The PDF Creator cannot paste fields copied on other pages of the same PDF file. This was never resolved so that copy / paste worked like he did during the last 3 versions of Acrobat?

    Thank you!

    Yes, it should work with all fields (perhaps with the exception of the signature signature

    fields)...

  • How do I batch edit form fields that have already been filled (if possible)?

    I am currently working on an electrical infrastructure project.  I designed roughly 800 diagrams electrical manhole.  One such example is shown below:

    manholeexample.JPG

    In the upper left and lower left corners, I have included the 'name' of this particular look and it's adjacent looks (highlighted with red boxes).  During the presentation of information to the client, they asked that the 'E' in these names is replaced by a "WP" for the rest of their data.  Is there a way to do this without edit individually each form field on these 800 diagrams?  Don't forget, I want to keep the rest of the fields intact, including the number after the 'E '.  I'm not particularly text warned, so if anyone happens to have any suggestions, please guide me through it.  I'll check back often in the hope of a solution.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    Oops, replace 36/72 36 just, but is perhaps too. You are incrementing in points, not inches. I don't think I need a more whisky!

  • How to fill a hidden form field with a value passed in another page

    I use PHP/MySQL and DW CS4.

    I'm trying to get the foreign key to a table and include it in a hidden field in a form to another table.

    The user selects a 'need' to a list and is taken to a new page that displays the need selected in the previous page and a form that the user can fill out with details of its offer, there is also a hidden field in the form that contains the index to the table needs, this hidden field retains the external key. Most of the code works, except to fill the hidden field with the external key. I proved (by printing it on the screen) that I got the external key and stored in a variable ($saveNeedId). I am unable to do so, what affect this variable in the hidden field in the form, I'm about to be stored in a table. Sometimes, I have zero and sometimes I get the index of the first necessity in the table. It should be simple but I can't make it work, I must be missing something obvious - still very new to PHP.

    The following code sets the variable and display for test purposes

    $saveNeedId = "-1";
    If (isset($_GET['needId'])) {}
    $saveNeedId = $_GET ['needId"];
    print $saveNeedId;
    }

    Here is the code that implements the fields hidden in the form, where I'm putting in place is the first one, needId

    < input type = "hidden" name = "needId" value = "<?" PHP echo $row_rsNeedsUnmet ["needId'];? ">" / >
    < input type = "hidden" name = "offerId" value = "" / > "
    < input type = "hidden" name = "MM_insert" value = "form1" / >

    The page where the user sees the list of needs is here www.hollisterairshow.com/weneed.php

    I would really appreciate sone help with this, I tried all combinations of double quote, percent sign and nothing works... sigh.

  • Should what programs I make and distribute forms?

    Hello

    I'm loking for an answer on how best to do that as long as a company we are trying to do. I want to be able to take sheets of paper that are currently being filled by mechanics and convert them to PDF forms that they fill out on a shelf in the shop. Then, I want them to be able to email me the full version of the PDF back to register in our system and keep on our records. My question is simply what is the best way to achieve this. We have not purhcased anything yet regarding the Adobe programs or tablets. We are eager to convert to a system that produces less paper.

    A full version of Adobe Acrobat will be enough to create the fillabe a PDF file that we could then distribute to the mechanical tablets with adobe reader on them or each mechanic will have the full version itself in order to modify it and save it?

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    You can create forms with Acrobat. On the side of the Tablet, you need to use a PDF Viewer that is able to use interactive forms. The PDF Viewer integrated for iOS is not any support for forms. Others, as Adobe Reader have limited support and PDF Expert from some Readdle as (iOS only) have the best support. None has as full support as player for Mac and Windows. It begins to matter more if you used advanced form features or JavaScript.

  • How to protect the edit form field text

    Hi - I use Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Windows.  I created a form; in the date field, I need the day to display when the form is activated first (open).  The form is sent to the additional workers, I need to stay in the field of the form and not change the date.  I was able to get the current date to display on the logon form, but each of the following to open the form changes the date.  I even saved a completed form (after you complete the form in Reader) but when he opened subsequently, it changed to the current date.  I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can use this:

    var currentDate = this.getField("Today").value;

    If (' currentDate == null | currentDate == "") {}

    var f = this.getField ("Today");

    f.Value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", newDate());

    }

    You must manually clear the field, make it read-only and then save

    file and close it.

    The next time that you open it, the field must be filled.
